Renal Hypertension Produced by an Amino Acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute renal hypertension is produced by the injection of the amino acid dopa (l-dihydroxyphenylalanine) into the partially or completely ischemic kidney of the cat. Evidence is presented suggesting that the rise in blood pressure following the injection of dopa is caused by its conversion into hydroxytyramine, a pressor amine. Kidneys with normal blood flow fail to transform dopa into a pressor substance.

Renal response to amino acid infusion in essential hypertension.
In the present study, we evaluated the renal response to a 4-hour infusion of amino acids in essential hypertensive patients, as well as the effects that dietary sodium restriction and enalapril (a converting enzyme inhibitor) had on this renal response. During normal sodium intake, amino acid infusion significantly increased renal plasma flow from 383 +/- 58 to 478 +/- 51 mL/min and glomerular...
متن کاملiV-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Antagonist MK-801 in Conscious Rats
Evidence from microinjection studies in anesthetized rats suggests that central excitatory amino acid pathways using A'-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are involved in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. To test the hypothesis that these pathways are tonically involved in the maintenance of or the baroreceptor reflex regulation of cardiovascular function, we have examined the effects of i...
متن کاملStimulation of the kallikrein-kinin system by pregnancy may help restore renal vasodilator response to glycine in Dahl salt-sensitive rats.
To the Editor We would like to contribute to the discussion of possible mechanisms involved in the pregnancy-induced restoration of the renal vasodilator response to glycine in Dahl salt-sensitive rats reported by Whitescarver and Heesch in the December issue of Hypertension. We want to call attention to the role of renal kinins, postulated as mediators of amino acid-induced hyperperfusion and ...
متن کاملContrasting excitatory and inhibitory effects of adenosine in blood pressure regulation.
Administration of adenosine results in profound hypotension without the expected activation of reflex sympathetic and renin mechanisms in most animal models. This action can be explained by the vasodilatory and neuroinhibitory effects of adenosine. It is generally considered an inhibitory neuromodulator because it inhibits the release of virtually all neurotransmitters studied and produces hype...
متن کاملRenal effects of amino acid infusions in patients with panhypopituitarism.
Strong evidence indicates that a high protein diet accelerates end-stage renal disease by increasing glomerular capillary pressure subsequent to renal vasodilatation. The mechanisms underlying this vasodilatation remain undefined, but they have been suspected to be mediated by a pituitary factor. To test this possibility, we measured changes in renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate i...
